I lived in Cornwall for a year. IT was quite distictive. The winter was pretty rough. But, anywys, in retrospect, it wasn't bad. I have developed a new understanding for their language, actually, and I will contunue to study it. The mining sites in Cornwall were all about tin. I remember a visit to the mine in Delabole. I hope the language will survive, even with only a few hundred native speakers. I actually write a song in Cornish using ChatGPT, and I'm not sure how accurate it is, but at least I tried.

King Arthur never went anywhere near Cornwall, but came from the midlands.

7th Gen Aussie of Cornish ancestry. Couldnt be prouder 'Onan hag Oll' 🖤🤍

Fowey pronounced FOI

Gonn meur ras a’th gwydheo splann. Nebes tryst yw an istori ma.

Found this because I couldn't find a video about ck2. But it is almost the same strategy. You will need everyone to join you at lincoln or you need them to join you at norfolk/suffolk. When you win against Ivar you need to chase him down and diminish his troops to a point where you can offer peace and enforce demands. Then you need to help northumbria. At this point when you secure the "choke point" that is northumbria you can aid wessex and mercia. But the most important would be that first battle with ivar in lincoln/suffolk. If you don't diminish his troops there he will be unstoppable and end up making your wife his concubine(as it happened to me in my first playthrough lol)

Great video, informative, clear diction, thx

I lived in Cornwall Ontario Canada. Thanks for the history lesson 👍

Assimilated into the Norman French? If that were true, we would have adopted Roman Law like the Scots, we would feel French, and our core word hoard would be French, none of which is true. The ability to shrug off political tragedies is a common thread amongst the nations of Britain. None of us know how to lie down once felled. Look at the comeback of the Welsh tongue for example.

As a Continental Saxon, I have found this video informative. Except for the references to the fictional Arthur.

Simple Answer....... King Arthur is a myth and Cornwall has NEVER been a country. I am Cornish and a lot of these views remind me of a little German who, caused quite a bit of trouble in his day. Be proud to be Cornish (Kernowek if you like) but don't be a massive tus (Erect Penis)

This is an awesome video!

In Nature, a responsible parent develops a dependant to the point where the dependant is properly prepared to safely operate independently. Operating independently does not imply hatred, disrespect, or even antipathy toward the parent. In fact, the more detailed and attentive the preparation, usually the stronger the bond between parent and independent offspring. It speaks volumes for the delinquent monarchy in England, a remnant feudal institution, that it fights tooth and nail to retain control over its northern, western and southwestern offspring. So tightly embraced are they that the monarchy stifles growth and maturity to the point where each of its five legitimate offspring-Alban, Iwerdhon, Manow, Kembra, and Kernow-now strongly resents the control exerted over their occupied lands. A different, fairer and more considerate relationship could have seen an island of independent nations independently working together for mutual defence, balanced trade, concerted foreign policy development, democratic (as opposed to monarchical) development of public policy and a much happier, perhaps even more welcoming cross-border interaction. As it is, the tighter the monarchy controls its offspring, the harder the offspring push back. Is it any wonder no one likes the British monarchs. The sooner Charles dies of cancer the better. Good riddance!

Do you have history or info on the Curnow’s?

Who was Mortaph and did he play a roll in Dumnonia at all?

Fascinating. Did you know a comet hit Britain in the mid-6th century which is why the Saxons could move in without much resistance. You should check the work of Alan Wilson for some suppressed history. Also King Arthur the 2nd fought the Saxons during this time.

great work sir

KERNOW BYS VYKKEN

This does seem a little restricted to one story. It omits the raiding of the Irish which prompted the early Kernow migrations to Breizh and the observable depopulation of northern Kernow.

Thank you.👍

It took centuries to develop from waring tribes into a nation. Now idiots dream of returning to waring tribes. Cornwall does not pay its way in the UK

Dumnonia was Devon not Cornwall.

The UK is a tiny group of islands , its a shame all areas are so devided ,sadly politians keep it that way , the whole country isnt worth fighting for anymore , with the enemy within

No other small country can compare with Greece in terms of impact on human benefit. The Greeks created it, the Germans copy it, and the English exploit it.

Proud to be Cornish..well, 50% Cornish at least.. and taken to Devon to be born. But I say it's where you first set foot on the land, So unless I was dropped as a baby in a Derriford carpark in 1986 - I consider myself proper Cornish!

Devon was also part of dumnonia Plymouth also called Aberplymm

There are massive English lies at the heart of this narrative .

It's NOT Fow-wee, it's Foy (Fowey) as in boy. You're welcome.

I think that Cornwall is culturally, historically, and geographically close enough to Wales for this to evolve towards concrete administrative and political developments. Why not an administrative and political association of Cornwall and Wales with its Welsh and Cornish Parliament / Senedd Cymru a Kornog?

Reparations from Rome! Lmao

You said Fowey wrong and Fowey is nowhere near Bodmin moor

Cornovii was in English midlands moved south and to top of what is now Scotland

Fascinating, thank you chum.

I'm from Cornwall and if anyone asks me were I'm from I always say Cornwall not England. We are totally different people. I now live in the Philippines. I miss Cornwall though

Parred in Dorset? It’s in Somerset!

The English are so blinded by their false sense of superiority and greatness, their ego and even arrogance won’t allow them to understand how a group of people amongst them would want to be separate. Love to all Cornish Warriors, you are always welcome in Jamaica 🇯🇲

The Cornish will rise again! Pasty in hand!

Historians normally give 936AD as the last battle with the Saxons and the border with England being fixed on the east bank of the Tamar. This was never legally changed.

As a cornish man I wish this happen irl

As a third generation Ostralian-Kernow, I identify very strongly as Kernow. I speak Kernewek and have visited my ancestral land in Peran ar Wodhel. Please keep this series going. Unlike our Gaelic brethren, we Kernowyon lack the great warrior sagas and narratives, or, if they exist, they are relatively untaught and therefore unknown. Kernow deserves much better public policies and self rule. Kernow Bys Vykken!

Fowey is pronounced 'Foy'.

A couple of quick notes as I'm watching this; 1) Cornwall could never accurately be described as isolated; it had been trading tin with the Mediterranean and it's closer neighbours since the Bronze Age and this continued well into the Medieval period. 2) Migration to Britanny wasn't exacerbated by the Anglo-Saxon arrival. The Anglo-Saxons were still on the other side of the country when it started to increase. The Britons of Cornwall and the Veneti of Armorica were more culturally similar and had a shared interest in the tin trade (Armorica being another source of tin) since pre-Roman times (this is noted in the Barry Cunliffe book you are quoting). The movement of Britons after the romans left could be more accurately described as colonisation and was a clear move to secure the tin trade routes. Hence they also established a settlement in Galicia, Northen Spain. Where, once again, there are tin deposits. 3) The Battle of Deorham did cut off the SW from Wales however it had nothing to do with Dumnonia. The three Kings mentioned in the ASC are leaders of independent post-roman polities. Dumnonia at it's most generous border probably only extends to the Parrett in Somerset. As the Saxons advanced it could be argued this shifted East as the former Durotriges collapsed but that's very subjective. 4) The Saxons don't enter Devon until after 710, the 8th Century. The Parret is the border until this time. 5) Dumnonia is gone from all records after Hehil, Edwards is correct. However that doesn't mean the territory of Devon is lost. Much of the remaining fighting, including Hingston Down, is likely to have taken place in Mid to West Devon. This also clarifies things like 'raiding from East to West' and yet not controlling any territory past the Tamar. It makes mroe sense if Ecgbert is instead pushing the Britons out of Devon. 6) Gafulford was likely a Saxon defeat, it didn't assure Wessex's domination or the battle of Hingston down wouldn't have been necessary. In fact it's a very inconvenient time for Ecbert to have a battle as he was preparing to engage with Mercia decisively in the same year. 7) The Quote about 'disposing of their lands as seemed fit" Isn't from the Anglo Saxon Chronicle. It appears in a Cambridge History book but only quoted as 'A Later document mentions'. This isn't contemporary and doesn't reflect the evidence of charters, or of Church compliance. 8) The only land in english hands in Cornwall before Athelstans reign, that we know of, is Maker. This was granted by King Geraint of Dumnonia to Aldhelm of Sherbourne in the early 8th Century. Additionally, Alfred the Great was able to leave some land around LAunceston to his son in his will but that is it. It definitely wasn't 'more and more in the hands of Saxon nobles' 9) Hingston Down is more likely to be at Hingston Down near Moretonhampstead in Devon. The ASC makes it clear the Vikings and Cornish take the campaign into Wessex and Ecberht goes to meet them. They wouldn't leave their ships in the Tamar and wait for him to go past the ships and to them. 10) From Ecberht until Athelstan there is no grants of land in Cornwall from English Kings. Athelstans 'cleansing of Exeter' is also a myth written by William of Malmesbury. The Church also maintained it's own idiosyncrasies which can be seen in Edwards founding of Crediton where he left money for the Bishop to 'visit the Cornish priests, for Stubbornly they resist the truth'. It's not until Athelstan re-founds the Cornish Bishop of St Germans, basically acknowledging that his predecessors efforts to try and bring the Cornish into compliance had failed, that we see any growth of English control in Cornwall. By then it is also not replacing the native elites, but rather the Native Elites are starting to adopt English names and tie themselves more closely to the English state willingly. We can see this both in charter evidence and in dual-name use such as within the Bodmin Manumissions. I don't want to sound entirely negative, alot of your information is commonly found on the internet but unfortunately it is incorrect and a hangover of a view of history which has always placed English history first and attempted to write out other peopels stories as much as possible. I'd recommend reading any of the following: The Promontory People - Craig Weatherhill Cornwalls First Golden Age - Bernard Deacon Or my book if you want! The Western Kingdom : The Birth of Cornwall - John Fletcher

Cheers to a fellow CK3 gamer! I studied the history of Brythonic kingdoms and your video gives a good insight and good overall review. I wanna know about Cornish language - did it die out completely and was recently revived exclusively from written sources? Or there was a tiniest minority which helped the enthusiasts to recreate the language? How is it going on now with Cornish? Is there a tendency to grow the number of speakers?

Kernow was never annexed into Saxon land nor modern English ✌

Prest omma sos . Kernow bys vyken 😎

Thank you for this video, as someone whose historical focus tends to be Cornwall it was just really great to see... On a side note, Cornwall during the English civil war and the work of Mark Stoyle is fascinating too 😉

As a silly american, one who found out about my majority of Cornish ancestry this was a weird way to WARm my heart

Nice ♥️
